Appendix 5
Text of Public Service Announcements on Tax Checkoff

Television Public Service Announcement
February 5 - April 15, 1991

Script :30

Tax Preparer: Folks, your taxes are done except I need you to answer
the first question.

Wife: Which question?

Tax Preparer: Here, (see tight of form) you need to decide if you would
like a dollar of your tax to be used to publicly finance Presidential campaigns
(preparer hands brochure on public financing to woman). The tax checkoff
reduces Presidential candidates' reliance on large contributions from individuals
and groups.

Husband: Will we pay more?

Preparer: No it doesn't change your tax or reduce your refund. It allows
you to decide if you'd like a dollar of your tax to be spent on Presidential
campaigns.

Narrator: Check the box yes or no. It's in your hands.

(FEC seal, address and an animated check mark in a box.)
